T. Ozturk et al., Novel organosulfur donors containing hydroxy functionalities: synthesis ofbis[2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diyldithio]tetrathiafulvalene and related materials, J CHEM S P1, (4), 2001, pp. 407-414
The synthesis of four novel organosulfur donors carrying two or more hydrox
ymethyl groups are described. TTF nuclei are fused to 1,4-dithiepine and/or
1,4-dithiine rings and in two cases both outer rings carry functionality c
apable of introducing hydrogen bonding; for the two chiral organosulfur don
or molecules both racemic and enantiopure forms are prepared.
